"I went to the mirror with the picture [of my great-grandmother Fannie] to see if I was able to copy it," Rifkin told BuzzFeed. "That's when I noticed that we shared more than just facial expressions — I could see her features in my face."

"We set up a green screen in my living room and my filmmaker friend brought lights. She took the pictures, trying to match the lighting in each picture," Rifkin explained. "My costume designer/makeup artist friend provided the majority of the clothes. She also did my makeup. A hairdresser was there for the more difficult hairstyles. My filmmaker friend brought a friend to help with lighting. After the shoot, she added in the original photos' backgrounds and tidied up the pictures via Photoshop."

And as it turns out, she looked more like her other family members than she thought she would.

Rifkin's favorite picture to replicate was her cousin Tiffany's. She explained, "The look was really fun and dramatic, so different from the way I normally look, and yet you can still see the family resemblance."
